I have yet to meet anyone who will admit to voting for this shower of nincompoops!
Who did elect them?

For the first time in my life I refused to vote. Voting implies a choice, So the choice was, Vote for this bunch of Tories or vote for the other bunch of Tories. Not much of a choice in my book. New Labour = Born again Thatcherites.

I was too young to vote during both the 2000 and 2004 elections. I stayed up till 3:00 a.m. during the 2004 election just to see Kerry concede. Very suspicious. He didn't even wait till all the votes were counted, and he didn't ask for a recount when it was over. Anyway, I would've voted for Kerry. I don't think I was educated enough about the candidates in the 2000 election to make a wise choice, but I might've voted for a member of the Green party, because it sounded cool.

sorry - I'm afraid i did - voted Tory all my life and thought a change might be good - interest rates going down and all that but you're right it was a mistake - it won't happen again .
next election - local or national - I'm voting BNP.
it's not because i agree with everything they say but i think giving my vote to anyone other than the usual rabble is better than not voting at all - if enough people vote for anyone rather than the usual three they might just get the hint that as a nation we are failing our own while giving tax payers money to all and sundry.

I have to admit to voting for them in 1997 but in 2001 and 2005 I voted for smaller parties as a protest against the whole naff system.

Vote Labour, haha you're having a laugh. But it's no laughing matter really is it?
Look at what they've done to this country, and people STILL vote for them?
Im a Conservative and dismayed that they can't put up a decent opposition which probably now condemns us to another 5 years of Labour, what a pleasant thought.

I vote every election. If people don't participate, I don't think they have a right to whine. And there is a lot of whining on this site. I vote for, or against, individuals; I have no faith in parties. No entity (business, government, etc.) that our current president has been the head of has prospered under his leadership. I couldn't vote for him either time.

That's because they did not have a majority of the vote to get in. They only need a majority of "seats" to win. They do that by having a very high number of seats in towns where they know that Labour voters live and very few seats in areas where conservatives would live.
It's a very unfair system.

I will assume that it is the British government you are referring to. So no i did'nt vote for those nincompoops. And if its the American government your referring to....nope, did'nt vote for those nincompoops either.

Hey, the Labour "government" is like Heroin. We all know somebody who's doing it, but no-one's admitting to it!
And no. Not now. Not ever. There is just no way I could ever vote for this party.

I did.
They've been voted in 3 times....and most likely a 4th by xmas.
They solved the troubles in N. Ireland, more police on the streets, better NHS, very strong economy (until the US ruins it). Somethings haven't worked, but I think the UK is doing very well.
